Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Even though it stars a Disney sitcom actor, Cabin Fever is not for kids -- or for anyone else with intelligence." |

Calendar Girls (2003) |
"A fun film that celebrates the pluck of a group of women who aren't afraid to bare all for a calendar that most likely hangs in the front of car repair shops and not in the back." |
Meg Jones |

Camp (2003) |

El Cantante (2007) |
"Lively but frustratingly shallow." |
Paul Kosidowski |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Capitalism: A Love Story is a Michael Moore movie that Fox News viewers might like." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"Miller, who directed the documentary The Cruise, and Futterman, whose debut screenplay is based on the biography by Gerald Clarke, show a writer's eye for detail that even Capote would admire." |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Plods dutifully through muddy explanations of battles and alliances with unrelenting boredom." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"A compelling yet ambiguous mosaic that is less about the facts presented in the case than about people's perceptions of them." |

Carnage (2003) |
"Patience will reward those who don't mind non-linear storytelling, but some of the stories aren't worth the wait." |
Michele Kenner |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cars (2006) |
"While it has heart and spunk to spare, it's still just a few quarts shy of greatness on the dipstick of animation immortality." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"More intelligent and substantive than it is entertaining." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"A standard period romance, the movie spends all of five unconvincing minutes on the womanizing side of the man. If you walked in late, you might wonder if you're in the right theater." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"Craig is a broken-nose-handsome character actor in what is essentially a character study, albeit one with acrobatic, in-your-face action scenes." |
Duane Dudek |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"The slow but steady pace is cumulatively compelling, like the tightening of a noose." |

Cast Away (2000) |
"As thought-provoking as star-driven blockbuster fare gets." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"Catch a Fire is firmly anchored to a real world in desperate need of a reminder of how evil once prospered, but never triumphed." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"Catch and Release is a puzzle missing a few critical pieces, and as a result, it never really connects." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"The marzipan nature of the tale flatters Spielberg's best instincts, and he deftly parries our inclination to regard the tale with a grain of salt in ways that bring out its inherent sweetness." |
Duane Dudek |

Catch That Kid (2004) |
"Parents might want to think twice about whether they want their kids to see a film that will teach them that crime does pay." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato |
Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"Overall, there is a welcome feeling of innocence throughout this PG film, which makes it a great movie to share as a family -- if your brood is old enough to sit still for 90 minutes." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 2/4 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"The result may appeal to Berry's fans but is Catwoman in name only." |

The Cell (2000) |
"The Cell ... not only goes through the psychological looking glass with flair and imagination, it leaves enough bread crumbs for the rest of us to follow." |

Chandni Chowk to China (2009) |
"Chandni Chowk to China has something to offer every discerning film taste. And that's its major shortcoming." |
Mack Bates |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Changing Lanes (2002) |
"It is entertaining as a legal yarn of the John Grisham variety, but just as generic despite grander aspirations." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Changing Times (2006) |
"A spare but rich film from French master technician André Téchiné." |
Michele Kenner |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Delightfully bittersweet." |
Duane Dudek |

Charlie Bartlett (2007) |
"Charlie Bartlett is an often-laugh-out-loud-funny comedy that takes aim at privileged WASP culture and the public school system with equal fervor." |
Mack Bates |

Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"If the story feels incomplete and a tad abrupt, it may be because only time will tell us how it ends." |
Duane Dudek |

Charlie's Angels (2000) |
"Charlie's Angels is a further reminder, as if more was needed, that in an age of lowered expectations, we get the entertainment that we tolerate." |

Chasing Liberty (2004) |
"Amounts to little more than a nearly two-hour travelogue of Europe, a la The Lizzie McGuire Movie." |
Kevin John Bozelka |

Che, Part Two (2008) |
"The film's narrative flow is less driven by events, which are revealed in spurts, but are drawn along as their inevitable consequences." |
Duane Dudek |

Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005) |

Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cheri (2009) |
"Lively, clever and beautiful in all ways, from its diverse cast to its period Parisian setting, Chéri is a worthy adaptation of the 1920 novel by French novelist Colette." |
Steve Ramos |
Tomato 2/4 |
Cherish (2002) |
"The directing and story are disjointed, flaws that have to be laid squarely on Taylor's doorstep. But the actors make this worth a peek." |
Sue Pierman |

Chicago (2002) |
"This cinematic version of a theatrical experience should find favor in any court in the land." |

"It loses some of its emotional punch as the plot complications pile up." |
Mary-Liz Shaw |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Children of Huang Shi (2008) |
"Its wartime, period and regional production values are persuasive, the character is larger than life and the climax is sobering." |
Duane Dudek |

Children of Men (2006) |
"The most eye-popping and moving drama of the season." |
